ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- The UAlbany Men's basketball has been putting in some off season work with some of the old, and new faces to the team. One of the area's they've been working on other than the team chemistry on the floor, are the relationship's off the court. An area that head coach Dwayne Killings believes that last season wasn't the strong point of his team. Building that chemistry early has brought some optimism about what can be expected from the Great Danes in 2023. "I didn't think we had the kind of deep relationships we needed to be a really strong team last year," Killings said. "So, we're spending time off the court, we've done some things already, we'll have what we call mentality meetings on Sunday's or culture meeting's to talk about things that are most important to us, relationships, discipline, commitment, energy, trust, selflessness, toughness those things are really important to our program, but I think we need to define them and really understand them and r...

Ask Amy: Reader remains in a COVID lockdown

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 23:12:36 GMT

Dear Amy: I’m stuck in a deep hole.I didn’t think the COVID lockdown would affect me much because I’m an introvert and a homebody, but I’m finding it difficult to make myself leave the house. I only go to the grocery store and to my doctors’ offices — and occasionally to a family member’s house.One factor is that I moved to a new town just a couple of months before COVID hit, so I don’t have any local friends.I’m retired, so I don’t have any work buddies.I know that joining groups is a good way to meet people.I joined a church, but rarely go. I “plan to” join a quilting club and to get together with a group that plays an AR (augmented reality) game I used to play all the time.My husband sometimes suggests we go somewhere, but when I think about going out my stomach tightens, and I feel like I want to cry.How do I get past this?— Want Out!Dear Want Out!: Your recognition that this is a problem, and your desire to change your situation, are very good signs that you can creep out of th...

Don’t stake your contract on one line of play when others are available. Try to combine your chances.In today’s deal, West led a diamond against six spades. Declarer took the ace, drew trumps and tried a heart to dummy’s queen. East won and returned a heart. South then tried for his 12th trick by finessing with the jack of diamonds, but East produced the queen.Did South play to best advantage?CLUB RUFFAfter South draws trumps, he can finesse in diamonds. East wins and returns a diamond, and South takes the king, pitching a club. He cashes the A-K of clubs and ruffs a club, and when the suit breaks 3-3, dummy’s fourth club is good for the 12th trick.If the clubs fail to break, South has one chance left: He can finesse in hearts.This week: which finesse?DAIL...
